Disappointing Gopalestine

by: Gareth Gallagher - IrelandProgram: Trade and Industry Internship in Palestine (1-12 Weeks)

Firstly, the people who work with Gopalestine are great people and very friendly like all Palestinians. Signed up for himan rights internship, dropped it after two weeks because it was non existant tbh. Just volunteered generally afterwards. I don't know why they charge extra for internships because they don't pay money to anyone who gives time to internships. Even we visited refugee camp and got shown around by camp member and he didn't receive anything. House provided for males was very dirty and for some reason owner living there. We had to deep clean the place ourselves eventually. Do not under any circumstances pay for the program up front before you come if you are doing anything longer than a couple of weeks because your 'stuck' then. Given the security at airport and risks not getting in they should not be asking for money up front.

Hi Gareth! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you found our team and the Palestinian community warm and friendly. We apologize that the human rights internship didn’t meet your expectations. While we strive to maintain a consistent schedule, unpredictable circumstances, especially during times of conflict, can lead to changes or cancellations. We appreciate your flexibility in switching to the general volunteering program in the West Bank. Regarding the internship payments, we do compensate those who assist us. However, some organizations prefer non-monetary support due to their regulations, so we offer English courses to their team members free of charge as an alternative. We regret any inconvenience caused by the condition of the accommodation. While we provide cleaning tools and expect residents to maintain cleanliness, we understand your concerns and will work to improve our housing standards. We apologize for the situation you experienced and want to highlight that, given the current conflict and financial challenges, we are doing our best to maintain and improve our programs. As a token of our appreciation for your feedback, we’d like to offer you two weeks at our center free of charge. We value your insights and are committed to improving our programs for future volunteers. Thank you once again for your dedication and understanding.
